  1. Fingers crossed. Dogs are great at bouncing back with a bit of time, one here smashed her scapula and punctured her lung, was touch and go but came back to run again.
  2. recon the reality is it would be all over social media before "some geezer" had even got his keys in the car. if a President of the USA couldn't cover up a dalliance with an intern does anyone really think multiple big cats could be covered up......?
  3. Zoysa – the ‘Exmoor Beast’ – has died | okehampton-today.co.uk WWW.OKEHAMPTON-TODAY.CO.UK AFTER 12 weeks of prolonged period of palliative care Exmoor Zoo is sad to announce the death of ‘Zoysa’, the last captive black (melanistic) leopard in the UK.
  4. Chem trails and cloud seeding are two different things. One is a well understood and used activity, cloud seeding, the other is Chem trails.. Chemtrail conspiracy theory - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
  5. Lot of talk about a possible reintroduction of Wildcats into Devon but the biggest threat to Scottish wildcats is hybridising with moggies and that would just be worse in Devon. It would need a control area for domestics if it were to have any value as a reintroduction beyond turning the local farm cat population a little more wild.

  7. I see no reason why not, just about any dog will chase a rabbit.
  8. Good food and controlled exercise with training, make haste slowly.
  9. Bedfordshire Clanger be the answer to lining your stomach for maximal girth growth...
  10. The interesting bit isn't if big cats roam the home counties in their thousands, that's patently unrealistic, what is interesting is why people believe in things like big cats, aliens etc, plus the why/how we process sight information to feel we may have seen a big cat. So the interesting bits are the mechanics of vision and human psychology.
  11. THL is a unique place, only here can we go from, big cats to general health in a couple of pages..
  12. A very large cohort of people over 75 were followed, the ability to walk at 3 miles per hour was the best predictor of being alive in 5 years irrespective of all other health problems, including cardiac, stroke, hypertension etc. There are always exceptions to the rule but there is very good evidence that keeping active is the best thing you can do, won't live forever but it will very likely help.
  13. "Reality" is constructed by your brain. Here’s what that means, and why it matters. WWW.VOX.COM What the science of visual illusions can teach us about our polarized world. So what people see isn't necessarily what is there and within the context of millions of eyes seeing stuff over 12 hours a day it would be notable if the odd big cat or alien didn't pop up from mistaken identity. no discredit to the observer but the need for acceptance that we can't always believe our eyes, unless were perfect.
  14. You boys need to keep walking, gait speed is the best indicator of health/life expectancy, being able to achieve a walking gait speed of over 3 miles per hour is a great predictor of life expectancy over ten years in spite of things like weight, blood pressure, diabetes etc in the elderly. Basically if you want to have a healthy life into your older years keep active. ps harder to catch if you still got a bit of speed in the legs ??
  15. Ah but is it his own broom..................................... i heard he just borrowed it from Trigger...
  16. You'd need a cites permit to own one here now although if it was a native feral it wouldn't need the import documents so.... i find a CWD skull brings a few comments without needing any documentation although the need to eject the occasional antis may still be a reqd aspect.............
  17. I recon a big cat skull would make a decent talking point on my shelf!
  18. Seem to be getting lost in the perpetual THL roundabout of politics and immigration but what you lot are missing is the negative impact a thousand ravaging Panthers are having on our meat production, just imagine how many head are being lost annually! ? I think leopards only eat around a third of the carcass from their kills. Countryside must be full of half eaten stock, average 20 kills a year would mean 20'000 half eaten remains and a big hole in the farmers pockets.
  19. I would say it's a cat, but not a big cat, just a moggy. edit to add, stills taken from thermal imaging aren't overly reliable re size interpretation, ie breadth of a tail in isolation etc, basically you get blurry images on motion.
  20. We are never going to have food self-sufficiency as a country, but we can strive for food security. When we look behind the figures ie Beef production, yes we produce a lot of beef but a lot of that is based on the availability of imported cereals to feed it. In general Europe, as a whole, is broadly self-sufficient and that is the key, we need to work with our near neighbours to reduce the risk of international impacts on our shared food production. Then we can import a few European lynx's to keep the big cat lovers happy.?
  21. The term is "self proclaimed" expert. Self-Proclaimed Experts More Vulnerable to the Illusion of Knowledge WWW.PSYCHOLOGICALSCIENCE.ORG Research reveals that the more people think they know about a topic in general, the more likely they are to allege knowledge of completely made-up information...
